Why am I not surprised----I was amped about this channel! I could already see myself cruising down the street with this channel blaring from my car. I was so excited about what they'd play and who we'd hear from. When I emailed SiriusXM I suggested The Chain as the first song they play when the channel goes live. This was going to be freakin awesome.....

Will they play Mike and Neil stuff too as a way to familiarize listeners with the new members? Will they play Lindsey's songs sparingly? They might play older songs to prep listeners for the shows if they plan on doing older stuff live. Bet we don't hear any BuckVie

I heard the tail end of a promo in the car on the way home from work. Don't Stop was playing in background and a voice said the channel number

Does anyone else find it interesting, and a little bit strange that the initial start date of the Sirius FM channel was dropped about a month ago with no explanation? And that now, the week that they do an interview as a “new” ensemble, and the story of Lindsey’s horrible firing is out, the channel is announced again?

Could it have had anything to do with contract negotiations with Sirius? And Lindsey?

Or did they want to coincide it with their stupid tour announcement in the hopes that it will make the channel, and the tour, more popular?

I, personally, will find it hard to listen to it. I’m so disappointed with “my band” and the bunch of idiots they have become.

I’ve been listening to the Sirius channel for the past few days and for the most part, like what I’m hearing. I haven’t been a loyal follower of commercial radio in decades, so I’m pretty critical. My go to has been kcrw in Santa Monica since the mid 90’s.

But with a catalog so deep, I can’t for the life of me figure out why I keep hearing tracks from “Time”. It’s easily the biggest dog that’s ever been released by the band. I’ve never known of a bigger collection of lazy uninspired songs by one band, capable of so much more.

I know I haven’t given it enough listens but I’m definitely hearing way too much attention paid to Behind The Mask and Time. Clearly the playlists have been “curated” by Mick.

Those two albums are the only ones that make me cringe several times throughout.
On the other hand, I’m hearing lots of interesting b sides and live tracks.
I hope they can get someone in to shape the playlists with more diversity.
It’s an interesting project and I think people will stick with it if they can change up the programming.

I actually appreciate the tracks from BTM and Time. You can hear Gypsy, Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way on any channel. I love the deep cuts from less known albums. I wish the inspiration songs were not played as much.
I do think they can still dig deeper. I have heard only one Christine solo song. Nothing from ITM and nothing Lindsey solo yet. They played Nothing Ever Changes by Stevie on Friday. That was cool.

Agreed, I'm enjoying cuts from all albums. I'm impressed by the depth. I don't need to listen to their hits all day.

Default Wow.

"Imperial Hotel" is playing. A nice surprise, along with hearing "Beautiful Child" and "Red Rover" yesterday.

The Mac station keeps surprising me.

Been listening to this all day. Fun. Especially listening to the live songs and the Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch FM songs. Good stuff!
